Error exporting frames CMD + S
Hi everybody, I am trying for the first time canvas-sketch, but I am facing a problem. Pressing cmd + S or ctrl + S an image should be saved, but the only thing that I get is a re-run of the code and nothing get saved.
I installed everything via npm, and these are my versions: "canvas-sketch": "^0.7.6", "canvas-sketch-cli": "^1.11.20"
I tried to export images in Chrome, Safari and Firefox, but I always get the same result.
Thank you in advance
Giorgio
Hi Giorgio,
I think what's happening is that you are sending the keys "Cmd + S" or "Ctrl + S" to your code editor (thus triggering the saving of your code and the hot reload) while you need to send them towards the browser instead.
You can use "Alt-tab" or "Cmd + tab" to alternate between open windows or just click on your browser and then type the keys.
Let me know if it helped.

Hi Raphael,
I have the same issue — pressing Cmd + S / Ctrl + S:
- triggers code re-run,
- saves alternated image,
- redraws in a browser window to another heavily alternated image
Not sure it's related to "sending the keys to your code editor" — I don't see my editor uses these combinations to trigger anything related to re-run/refresh.

I'd appreciate if you can advise a solution.
Kind regards, S
UPDATE Saving does not trigger re-run if using "tick" as described here https://github.com/mattdesl/canvas-sketch/issues/25

This is a great hint! the Cmd-s / Ctrl-s should be pressed ON the browser, not in the editor
